Calculating CEUs

CEUs are Continuing Education Units. The purpose of CEUs is to provide job-related professional development and growth experiences. Annual training (earning CEUs) is a requirement for both USDA Professional Standards and maintaining your Certificate in School Nutrition or SNS Credential.

Credentialing Program

CEUs MUST be a minimum of one hour in length.

If audited, it will be necessary to submit documentation of 45 CEUs for the 3-year credentialing period. We suggest 15 CEUs per year for alignment with professional standards.

Certificate Program

SNA encourages you to participate in 1 hour trainings to earn CEUs for the Certificate Program. SNA is also aware of the challenges finding appropriate training, so SNA has recently updated the allowable CEU minimum for the Certificate Program.
